Communist Party of China

The Communist Party of China, also called the "Chicom", is the ruling party of the People's Republic of China. It was founded in 1921 by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, but its most famous leader was Chairman Mao Zedong, who led the communists to victory against Japan during World War II and in 1949 against the Kuomintang during the Chinese Civil War. The Chicom has adapted from communism to socialism, using a capitalist mode of production and socialist economic policies to build one of the world's strongest authorities. It had 2,157/2,987 seats in the National People's Congress, and it is the ruling party of China.
